Lovett or Leave It

Malort the Merrier

It’s bottoms up when Lovett or Leave It rolls into town for a show at the beautiful Chicago Theater. The Chicago Gay Men's Chorus reminds us we were born this way: tired and gay. Ali Barthwell does the Cell Block Tango with Trump’s murderers’ row of henchmen. Abby McEnany serves up the Gay News deep dish. A former Jane (Kim Quindlen) gives us hope in a post-Roe world. Ashley Ray and Lovett raise a shot glass to the Second City, and our Hot Takes are the only thing steamier than this humid Windy City summer.--Thanks to The Chicago Theatre and MSG Entertainment for hosting this week's show. For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click <a href="https://youtu.be/bhDAeE5JgF0" target="_blank">here</a>.
